2.2. Site Description
The site comprises two rectangular allotments both fronting Doonella Street. Lot 32 is 516m2 in
area and contains an existing 2 storey weatherboard house. Lot 903 is 2,023m2 in area and
contains an older fibro unit building of 5 units in a poor state of repair. The units are within 2
buildings, one being single storey and the other 2 storey. Both lots have mature gardens but
predominantly comprise exotic species. A tall mature hoop pine is located on the northern
boundary of the larger lot. Both lots gain access via Doonella Street, with the 2 driveways rising up
a moderate slope. Overall, the site slopes at approximately 8% from the rear boundary down to
the south eastern corner at the Doonella Street frontage. The frontage contains 3 mature Poinciana
trees within the footpath reserve and a pedestrian crossing at its centre. Figures 4 to 6 below show
aerial images of the site, zonings and the site survey.
